Gwangjin District (District Mayor Kim Kyungho) will host the "2025 Gwangjin Environment Festival" at the Open Stage in Children's Grand Park on June 7, in celebration of the 30th Environment Day.

The Gwangjin Environment Festival is a large-scale event organized to promote environmental conservation and the culture of practicing carbon neutrality. The event will bring together environmental organizations, related institutions, and residents for a vibrant occasion of communication and interaction.

The event will be divided into two parts: the first part is a commemorative ceremony, and the second part is an ecological conservation musical. The commemorative ceremony will feature an "Environment Day Commemorative Performance" to heighten the festive atmosphere. Kim Kyungho, the mayor of Gwangjin District, along with environmental organizations, ESG companies, and residents, will participate in the Magic Tree Blooming Ceremony, reaffirming their commitment to reducing carbon emissions. A video themed "Gwangjin, an Eco-friendly City that Grows Together through Communication" will be shown, and the "Wave of the Earth" performance, in which blue and green fans are waved in succession, will help foster a shared commitment to environmental protection.

Next, approximately 20 individuals who have made significant contributions to environmental conservation will be awarded commendations. Thirty elementary and middle school students who excelled in the environmental art contest will also be honored. The event will also feature a performance by Gwanggaeto Samulnori, a fusion group combining traditional Korean music and hip-hop.

In the second part, the children's environmental musical "What Does a Rabbit Look Like?" will be performed. This adaptation of the traditional folktale Byeoljubujeon tells the story of sea animals struggling in an ocean polluted by plastic. The performance will be open to the first 200 people who register via QR code, and commemorative gifts will be provided.

There will also be 11 event booths, including: ▲Carbon Neutral Flowerpot Sharing ▲Folk Painting Fan Making ▲Environmental Guardian Artificial Intelligence Robot ▲Jeans Upcycling ▲Climate Crisis Quiz, and other interactive promotional booths to actively encourage the practice of carbon neutrality.

Kim Kyungho, Mayor of Gwangjin District, said, "We have prepared the Gwangjin Environment Festival to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Environment Day. I hope this event serves as a meaningful opportunity to reflect on the importance of preserving the global environment," adding, "We have organized a variety of eco-friendly events for the whole family to enjoy, and I encourage all residents to participate and show their interest."
